“Growing up and growing old. Playing. Exploring. Like Pooh and Piglet. And then like the Famous Five. And then like Heidi and Anne of Green Gables. And then like Pandora, opening the great big box of the world and not being afraid, not even caring whether what’s inside is good or bad. Because it’s both. Everything is always both.
But you have to open it to find that out.”
― M.R. Carey, quote from The Girl With All the Gifts


“Our army is retreating. The Sachakans are following. They will be here soon. We must be ready. The servants are bringing horses.” He paused and frowned at one of the apprentices. “Stop wating time asking stupid questions and see if your horse is here!” he snapped. He turned and pointed. “You! Arelenin. I can see someone bringing your horse. Yes, I’d hardly miss that ugly beast if it were on the other side of the country. Go and get it.”
― Trudi Canavan, quote from The Magician's Apprentice


“How can you be sure?"

"I'm a doctor, Jenna. And a scientist."

"Does that make you an authority on everything? What about a soul, Father? When you were so busy implanting all your neural chips, did you think about that? Did you snip my soul from my old body, too? Where did you put it? Show me! Where? Where in all this groundbreaking technology did you insert my soul?”
― Mary E. Pearson, quote from The Adoration of Jenna Fox


“O zamana değin, çocukken insana sonsuz gibi görünen bir yolda yılların yavaş yavaş ve hafifçe geçtiği, böylece hiç kimsenin akıp gittiklerinin ayırdına varmadığı bir yolda, hep ilk gençliğinin kaygısızlığıyla ilerlemişti, insan bu yolda, sakin sakin, çevresine merakla bakarak ilerlerdi, aceleye gerçekten hiç gerek yoktu, ne arkanızda sizi sıkıştıran ne de tabii, bekleyen birileri bulunurdu, arkadaşlarınız da kaygısız, oynamak için sık sık durarak ilerlerlerdi. Evlerinin kapısından büyükler size dostça selam verir ve suç ortaklığı dolu gülüşlerle ufku gösterirlerdi; böylece yürek yiğitçe ve tatlı arzularla çarpmaya başlar ve insan kendisini az ötede bekleyen harikulade şeylerin umudunu tadar; gerçi o şeyler henüz uzaktadır ama bir gün onlara ulaşılacağı kesin, tartışmasız bir biçimde kesindir. Daha çok yol var mıdır? Yoo, şu ilerideki nehri geçmek, şu yeşil tepeleri aşmak yeterlidir. Belki de varmışızdır bile. Şu ağaçlar, kırlar, şu beyaz ev belki de bizim aradığımız şeylerdir. Bir an, bunun doğru olduğuna inanıp, orada durmak isteriz. Sonra, kulağımıza ileride daha iyisinin olduğu çalınır ve tasasız bir biçimde yeniden yola koyuluruz. İnsan, böylelikle, umut dolu, kendi yolunda gider durur; günler uzun ve sakindir, güneş yukarıda gökyüzünde parlamakta ve akşam bastığında üzülerek yok olmaya yüz tutmaktadır. Ama bir noktada, belki de içgüdüsel olarak, insan geri döner ve arkasında bir kapının kapanarak dönüşü olanaksız kıldığım fark eder. İşte o zaman bir şeylerin değişmiş olduğunun ayırdına varırız, güneş eskisi gibi kıpırtısız değildir, hızla hareket etmektedir; ne yazık ki, henüz bakmaya bile fırsat bulamadan, onun ufkun ucuna doğru hızla kaydığını, bulutların da gökyüzündeki mavi koylarda hareketsiz durmadığını, birbirlerinin üzerine çıkarak kaçtıklarını, iyice acele ettiklerini görürüz; zamanın geçtiğini ve günü gelince yolun zorunlu olarak son bulacağını anlarız. Belirli bir zamanda, arkamızda bir kapı kapanır, kapanır ve bir şimşek hızıyla kilitlenir; geri dönecek zaman kalmamıştır.”
― Dino Buzzati, quote from The Tartar Steppe


“The moment seemed endless, but it was probably only half that.”
― Steve Toltz, quote from A Fraction of the Whole

About BookQuoters

BookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.

We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.

Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
